Chapter 81 - Non Stop (1/2)

Xander's face could not be painted. Why? It was because of Yera's assistant! How come he could not have lunch with his wife lately. ”Are you there?” Asked Yera at the other line.

Yera called him to inform him that she would accompany her assistant again at lunch. ”Can't she eat alone?” Xander asked.

Yera laughed and said, ”Hmmm… No. She doesn't have any friends yet in the hospital to accompany her so I join her for lunch whenever I'm free.”

'What if she doesn't find any friends at all to eat lunch with?' Xander blinked several times as the thought crossed his mind. If that happened, he would miss a lot of lunch breaks with his wife.

As soon as the call ended, Xander called out for secretary Ness and assistant Ron.

”Sir?” Asked assistant Ron as soon as he and secretary Ness entered.

Xander looked at the two and said, ”You two… start making a rapport with that Rizie and eat lunch with her. Or at least one of you take turn eating lunch with her. Make sure my wife is with me at lunch…”

The two looked at each other before they nodded and answered, ”Noted Sir.”

As soon as the two left, Xander's mobile phone rang once more and this time it was his cousin Keira Chan...

.......

Rizie looked at the handkerchief in her hand and released another sigh. She was having lunch alone and was feeling lonely as she was not used to eating alone. Dr. Song usually used to accompany her, but today she suddenly had an emergency operation for a patient and before they could order, Dr. Song had to run to the operating room.

Even approaching Dr. Rui seemed complicated because the latter was always out of the clinic lately. She was inside the hospital cafeteria. She looked around and spotted Dr. Chen at a corner eating alone like her, so she quickly stood up and walked towards him.

”Hello, may I join you?” Rizie asked, smiling broadly in front of Dion.

Dion was startled and his face was crumpled. It was not because of Rizie of course but the bad spirit behind her that he wanted to throw a spoon on because he was caught off-guard.

Rizie's face darkened as she mumbled, ””What's with you? I'm greeting you nicely but you'll answer me with that vinegar face?” Dion thought Rizie was too offended that she would leave that instant but Rizie sat in front of him instead.

Dion cleared his throat before he spoke, ”I'm sorry… It's not you. I was startled by something at your back.”

Rizie knitted her eyebrows and turned around to look at her back while she commented, ”My back? Something? There's nothing nor no one.”

”Anyway, let me join you because I can't eat alone.” muttered Rizie liked she knew Dion for a long time as she began to eat. Dion stared at her and mused, 'What a care-free woman.'
